I am running Kindle Fire with gedeROM v1.35 and while i have mock locations enabled in the ROM's settings, the tetherGPS client running, i am not receiving the location from my Droid4 which has a clear gps signal... Any ideas if this app even works on an ICS rom on kindle?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] airmaxx23:
There is not a BT chip in the Fire, it has been verified.

I'm on Hash's ICS ROM and I'm having the same issue as you, have you contacted the dev to see if it is supposed to be compatible with ICS?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
I am on Hellfire ICS and cannot connect to the the wifi tether. I guess it's an ICS rom limitation?

Got it to work using the native(built into my rom I am using) and using that wifi hotspot and running mapquest like the other user a few pages back ago did. This seems to work but I haven't tried using it as a navi yet.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] artur0588:
How did you enabled mock_location? Have you changed it in settings.db? If yes, then tether gps must work well as works for me. To enable it you have to navigate to settings.db and change value field of mock_location to 1 instead of 0. In this case everything work for me with gede rom v1.55. In fact, settings.db do not rewritable in CM9, to do this just copy db in any folder in your sdcard and make changing then delete original and move modified to original folder and restart your device. For some reasons you will not able to start your device, juts fix permissions in TWRP.

EDIT: Gede Rom v1.6 seems do not need any changes make in settings.db, just enough you check the box enable mock location in settings of the ROM.

If you want MoDaCo Rom will not change value gps to network after reboots try to change settings.db in different folder than replace with original by deleting original settings.db and paste modified then reboot your device, not sure if it helps but you can try. If Kindle Fire not boot up after this just Fix Permissions in TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] SunkenTreasure:
Different directories?

Where are you guys finding the settings.db file?

I have attached a picture of the file structure on my KF with 6.3.1_user_4107720.

As you can see, there is no

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

file (or directory)...

You are looking in sd card. On the contrary you should look in the root.

finally got this to work with my Samsung GS3 and CM9 kindle fire.

someone left a review with tip: you have to turn off auto broadcast on the server and enter the client device's IP address in the server's broadcast field.

it works and i can use gps nav and all that but occasionally the connection will drop and the only way to repair this and get back on gps is to force close tethergps and re-run it.

anyone else have the same issue?

ive been messing with tasker to try to automate a fix...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] defroster:
Ah finally!

Why on earth are we putting client ip in server ip broadcast I have no idea, but it's the only that that has finally got my little 7" noname tablet running android 2.3.3 to work using the gps on my nexus s.

Will test it out in the field tomorrow, thanks!

temp root

I want to add nav to my wife's KF, but that's it; she wants to stay stock, and unrooted. Can I root, install/change what needs to be done to set this up, and then un-root and have it still work, or do the apps in question require permaroot to run?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mcostabr:
Same here, only works if putting client ip in server ip broadcast.

cannot edit mock location to 1 ???

I have rooted,rerooted and rooted again, market works perfect, apps load perfect, tether gps connects, but the sqlite editor says the "data base is locked. I cannot change it no matter what. using root explorer with superuser permissions and the sqlite editor wont allow any changes or copy, How to unlock the database? thanks,

:eek:
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] flascrnwrtr:
Yep, this was the key for me. After hours of trying, put the client ip in and worked immediately.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] flascrnwrtr:
Just did an up-and-back from Charlotte,NC to St. Petersburg, FL. Used GPS Tether and WiFi tether to connect to my Note 2. Used the Kindle for Navigator and Google Play Music. Worked like a charm (the only exception being, if someone called me and I talked for more than a few minutes, it would knock out the GPS Tether. It was so nice to have such a big screen secured to the dash.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] tdo722:
You copy it out of that \data\data folder to sdcard\download then modify mocklocation from sdcard\download then copy it back to \data\data

Does the Alternative Method below also work on the new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 With 4G

Hello all

First this is my first time here on the forum,

Thanks for a great resource site!

My question: after reading the post on how to (GPS Navigation with TetherGPS)

Does the Alternative Method below also work on the new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 With 4G tablet?

I tried to purchase the Root Explorer in the Amazon App Store

and it displayed that this App was not compatible with my Kindel Fire HD 8.9 With 4G tablet!

"Alternative Method: Purchase Root Explorer from the Play Store on your rooted KF.

Use Root Explorer and sqlite editor to open /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

and change 'mock_location' from '0' to '1'. Restart your KF."

Thanks in advance

How to use with de-activated phone?

I stumbled on lionclaw's post a couple of weeks ago and it captivated my imagination. I have a recently de-activated HTC Droid Incredible 4G and I would like to pair it with my Kindle Fire for road and air navigation without internet access. Since reading your post, I have rooted my Kindle Fire and applied the update, have rooted and S-off'ed my Incredible 4G to use Android-Wifi-Tether, and I have purchased TetherGPS. When both devices are connected to my in-home Wifi, TetherGPS works great.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to pair my devices over Wifi. The phone's built-in mobile hotspot claims it needs the data network available to work, and the Android Wifi app doesn't seem to do anything (no wifi signal is visible on my Fire or my laptop even though the app on the phone says it's working). I'm not trying to pass an internet connection (there isn't one), I'm just trying to get two wifi-enabled devices to talk to each other.

I'm asking here because this thread specifically mentions use of a phone that is not activated. What am I missing?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] cwaskey:
Success!

I got it to work by installing the latest version of CyanogenMod onto my de-activated phone.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] packetfire:
Just as a note to anyone who stumbles on this thread as cluelessly as I did, the current Amazon Fire Tablets can be set to enable "Mock Locations" from the Amazon Fire's Developer Options Menu: Settings -> Device Options -> Developer Options -> Allow Mock Locations

This allows one to skip all the mucking about with SQLlite and reduces the task to (a) Root the Tablet (b) Install and use apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny17401:
Hi... Thanks for the great Video.. It was really helpful to a Noob like myself new to all this..

But I still have some Noob questions on this whole Root thing..(About If or why I should do it)

1. From reading (And even a topic here in this forum) once I root the fire there will be things on the Amazon side I will no longer be able to do??? Unless I unroot. Like watch Amazon Prime movies is one I heard...What exactly will I NOT be able to do while the Fire is rooted that I normally could do???? I need to be clear in my mind on this before I decide to Root or not. I am not a hacker but just want to be able to Expand the Apps I can get for my Fire..

2. Can I root, Purchase the Apps I want from the Android store, then using oneClick unroot thus giving me full use AND I can also use my new Andriod Apps too? So in my case for what I want to do.. Do I just root when I want something I cant get in the Amazon App store and then unroot etc???? And do this whenever I want something from the Android store?
[Kindle Fire General] cccodyyyy:
So my friend is willing to sell me a Kindle Fire for $60.

I'm heavily thinking about buying it, but I also want to save for a Galaxy tab.

Either, way I can get the Kindle Fire for the right price. But is it actually a decent tablet like device? Performance wise that is. Also, I kinda want one because I know some group of intelligent people are going to port a working Gingerbread or even Honeycomb ROM. Thus making it a full tablet.

tl;dr

Should I buy a Kindle Fire?

Is it good performance wise?
[Kindle Fire General] blauciel:
What do you want to do with it? I use it for web, forums, other basic Internet activities, and it works very well.

[Kindle Fire General] LyndenP:
60 bucks? What's your hold up? You can't go wrong at that price.

[Kindle Fire General] FlashFire1:
It depends on what you need it for. The KFire doesn't come with Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, camera, or a built in microphone. So if you really depend on those features then I would get the Galaxy Tab. The KFire is still a great device though. You can read books, watch movies from Amazon Prime, get apps from Android Market, and much more.

Performance-wise the KFire's processing speed is 1Ghz, the same as the GTab but the Kindle Fire has 512mb of RAM while the Galaxy Tab has 1GB. Don't worry about the performance of the Kindle Fire because 512mb of RAM is more than enough. Even the Galaxy Tab only makes 512mb of its RAM usable anyway. The overall performance of the Kindle Fire and the Galaxy Tab are the same though.

Hope this helps!

[Kindle Fire General] Goosteady:
I love mine. Awesome machine for the money!
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
Galaxy Tab 7 Plus and KF performs the same? HHmmmm. Not in my experience. The GTab is an android tablet where the KF (and NT) are really e-readers running android. Not that that is a bad thing. With all new shiny things there's a bit of giddiness and excitement as it should be. The KF is, and IMO will continue to be a serviceable unit primarily for reading and content consumption via Amazon. With all the new tabs coming out Devs are going to be hard-pressed to choose which to dig into. Likely choosing the ones with the greater return on time expended. Remember. most Devs do this because it's fun on their free time. HC and ICS on the KF? I have strong doubts on official releases. Ports perhaps but upgrading the OS doesn't have a return on investment for Amazon. They're making a buck or so on the units. Their profit is via content. I see Amazon releasing official upgrades ONLY if OS-specific content that they can charge for (locked down from their site/store). Heck even BN only released 2.2 from 2.1 on the NC after a year and that was for flash support (for BN content).

Perhaps I'm being cynical. Or realistic. But points to think about.

[HD2 General] ADB100:
My HD2 decided to go faulty so I claimed on the insurance I have with my bank account. After some faffing around with them not repairing it twice they have offered the cash equivalent of a HTC Trophy from Amazon.co.uk as the HD2 is no longer available new. They offered a HTC Legend but I said this was too low a spec when compared to the HD2.

I could get another HD2 off eBay and their cash settlement easily covers the cost. I am wondering whether this is a good move though as Windows Mobile 6.5 development seems to have ground to a halt. I cooked my own WM 6.5 ROM(s) but have suffered with the Phone Canvas issues, VoIP & earpiece issues, Bluetooth issues plus some other issues that I never really found fixes for.

I had Androind running off the SD card on the HD2 but it was never perfect, although this could have been down to the versions I was playing around with. Development for Android seems to be continuing (and gathering pace). I also installed Windows Phone 7 at one point but quickly removed it was just too restrictive (this was a while ago however so things may have changed?).

I could go full-on Android and get a HTC Desire HD for slightly more than a HD2 and again the insurance money easily covers this. I think all the features and software I had with the HD2 I can get (equivalents of?) with the DHD. Plus the DHD has the same physical dimensions as the HD2 so it should fit the HD2 car cradle?

The key uses of my HD2 were:

A phone - calls, contacts, SMS/MMS

Email - Exchange ActiveSync - plus hotmail with Windows Live and POP3/SMTP with my personal email.

SatNav - I use TomTom Navigator

Internet access

VoIP - I use SIP to get cheap calls when outside the UK.

I think everything except TomTom I can replace with Android equivalents.

Any advice?

Andy
[HD2 General] Synoptex:
Really I am always very surprised when I hear about HD2 with WM 6.5. Already using Android on NAND (MIUI) for 2 years and have never thought of returning to WM.

Dont know what to suggest. If I had the same, I probably took HD2 again. However in my country HD2 is a bit more expensive than Desire HD. Around 540 USD. Don't know about Amazon. Any possibility for you to add some extra money to the claimed one and buy Desire HD?
[HD2 General] ADB100:
Hi and thanks for replying. The insurance money will more than cover buying either a HD2 or a Desire HD so the cost isn't the problem. I was just after some opinions/advice on whether to get another HD2 or something else based on my usage (satnav, email etc).

Andy
[HD2 General] meingutter:
Desire Hd is a really good phone but if you like changing rom or OS hd2 is better
[HD2 General] markthomson1404:
replace ?

i had the screen go on my HD2 and just replaced the phone will get another screen and have 2 at some point ,I dont realy see another phone/ operating system around that is that much better than the Leo at the moment.I have ran Andriod and 7 but as nice as they are i just like my cookies home and all my apps. I would suggest getting a 2nd hand HD2 and keeping the change to maybee buy another phone in about a year as prices drop a lot (however not realy that fast on the Leo)

Regards Mark
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
To be honest, I don't see anything at the moment that is coming close to HD2 due to the versatility of the OS and options available. Sure, there are higher spec phones on the market, perhaps with better screens and dual core CPU, but it's not about the specs, is it? I have my T-Mobile HD2 and it gave me the opportunity to have the best of both worlds - Mango and Android running without any trouble. I was torn between WP7 and Android for some time, until Mango came along (thanks, Yuki and XBmod, among many others - you, guys, are the best) and the choice of dual booting was made. The biggest problem I am facing every day is what OS to start the day with, haha. A friend of mine has purchased Samsung Galaxy SII last weekend after giving up on Iphone and following my Android recommendations, but now he envies my HD2 running Android and WP7.5 because he likes it a lot too, HTC Hub made him cry with envy :). So there he was, saying 'But it's a thousand dollar phone, why can't I have both too???'. He likes his phone very much and it is an impressive piece of electronics, but it's not HD2...

A few years ago and after many, many HTC smartphones, I got JasJar (HTC Universal) and reached a point where nothing that came on the market afterwards could lure me away. I still have it, but the only phone that could take its place in my heart is HD2. :)

So if you can't be bothered reading all of the above, what I am trying to say is yep, another HD2 would be something I would go for in your position. Best of luck.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Or... you might want to part with the broken screen one, as in sell it to me, because I am looking for a mainboard to have another Leo repaired and used for development. Just a suggestion.

Hello to everyone, well i was new to the whole rooting and flashing roms thing, but i did it anyways and it seemed to work just fine , i will explain everything that i did:

i rooted my my touch 4g using the gfree method , and it worked then i flashed the rom royal ginger 3 and it booted just fine , then i just decided to turn off my phone and when i rebooted it it got stuck on the boot loop that i mention, i tried going back to recovery erase all data and re-installing royal ginger but it wont let me erase a thing not data not cache data, nor install the rom, its says the following:

E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/log

Well they didn't include the iPad 2.. I'm assuming whoever set the poll up had their reasons. But definately Transformer 1 is the best Honeycomb tablet out there for the money and the keyboard-battery dock was an amazing extension to it.

Asus stepped up and brought a new pricing standard to tablets for others to follow which made it a huge hit. Not to mention the price point got so many people involved in the dev scene for it; that alone makes it one of the best for people who love tinkering with Android.
